    From the patent (apperently, haven't read it):

    Wait, that thing is more powerful than a kg of decaying plutonium? (which is about 500w, forgetting the per second part as it does not make sense) Even at 99% efficiency they are going to have to dissapate six times _MORE_ energy than a kg decaying plutonium 238! As a bonus the power density is 81 GW/m3. Impressive

    They've coiled up a 12 light hours worth of optical fibre inside the balls and placed the end of the fibre in such a way that it shines on the PES. This allows light to continue to fall on the PES device even when the ball itself is moved into a dark place. All you have to do is ensure the ball is exposed to sunlight for a day and then it will generate power overnight too. I'm disappointed all the engineers here couldn't see this simple solution.

      I'm still confused at what's actually happening, but I think the designer believed that light coming into the sphere would reflect and be more efficient. Sure it's only allowing in a pinhole of light and reducing the amount of light making it to the panel butt it's going to reflect infinitely! Simple as that! Infinite energy confirmed.

    impregnated with over-activated Gibolin .
    Gibolin is made from "Camember au lait crû". I can't reveal how it works, as patents are pending!

      They have so much money they don't care about being deceived. They know 99,99...9% of these things are a scam. But it's like playing lottery to them - just something they do for fun, just so they can brag to their friends in case something turns out to be legitimate and they can pretend they knew all along about how great that tech was and how important investing in it was to help change the world for the better blah blah blah.

      I'm not sure if their patent was granted in the US. Even if it was, I think it's giving people in general too much credit to expect a USPTO agent to make the mental leap between perpetual motion machines and balls that somehow produce more electricity than the solar radiation available. I mean, it has no moving parts, so how are they supposed to understand it's not a perpetual motion machine in the form of a Christimas three ball from Temu?

    They can run for 24 hours because, obviously, you plug your light source into the output and power it from the balls themselves! This way they always have light and always produce energy!

    14:30 If light never escapes, why do we see light escaping when a flashlight is shone on it (looks diffused, not only reflection)? Very funny indeed. It would be nice to have a material that allows light to pass only in one direction and to create a sphere out of it. I thought of this concept during wave physics classes. According to theory, some light always escapes; you can't have a 100% reflective mirror. Perhaps using a Peltier module, you could utilize the heat difference. Anyway, bifacial solar panels work great for me, especially with prices dropping to $0.50 - $0.80 per watt.

    Your "excitable" voice about the solar balls reminds me of the F1 race announcer that tries to get the viewers all worked up by getting sooo excited about the race start. 🤣 He gets louder and louder about a simple race when in fact, like the solar balls that you show ends up being a big dud, both are no big deal in the end.

    Sounds like they're trying to create self amplified photo cells that work like lasers but without pump power, like the light will bounce off the mirrors and each time raise the energy levels in the doted material it is reflected from 😅

    Saw this first in Sabine Hossenfelder's video, but she didn't go in so many details. Just saw that picture where they're allegedly charging an EV from a truck having these on its roof. You know why it's a truck? Like with all other perpetual motion / infinite energy 'machines', the real difficult part is where to hide the batteries. A truck trailer/container would do well for such a purpose...
